Can we salvage a White Christmas in SNE?

Thanks man. I used to live in southern Dutchess. Always enjoyed your reports from Orange. It's amazing how much cooler it can be out by you than down in the valley. Now I'm up in Rensellear and I lived in Boston for a long time, so I gravitate to the NE subforum.

We gotta wake up the HV forum. I'm sure it will come alive for the next good threat.

Yeah its been pretty dead the past few weeks. Hopefully next weeks storm can deliver the goods!

Am I confusing systems or is the GGEM going pretty good with Winter Storm Will?

It produces a band of 1-2" for SNE...esp south of the pike. The upper levels look more impressive than the sfc QPF output which has been the case in most of the model progs thus far for this system.

Makes me think something could definitely occur. GEFS were more robust with a few members bringing near advisory level snowfall for Christmas morning...so it definitely bears wtaching.

FWIW, the 12z GEFS have a weak low over KY at 108 hours and then a weak one south of BID at 120 hours...about a tenth of an inch of qpf for CT/RI/SE MA with measurable up to CNE.

So the Christmas idea is still very much there on the ensembles.

Yeah some of the GFS ensemble members had a little wave form south of SNE overnight so I'm not surprised at 12z there's still a bit of hope there.

GGEM has a nice 1-3 for the south coast with a coating or an inch from Tolland to Worcester.

I think we should consider banning eduggs from this subforum. Clearly he has an issue with/continues to troll red taggers here. It's a curious pattern of behavior from a disgruntled weather weenie.

With a vort like that, it probably will produce a band that is not very wide of mid level WAA/fronto snows. One of those deals where models will not show much QPF because they can't handle mesoscale stuff like that, but you know it could be there.

Let's see the euro come on board, would be really nice to see it work out. To me it makes up for the ills of the month to have a nice Xmas eve/morning snow. I cannot recall the last time that happened, maybe 95/96?

This is more of a Xmas eve snowfall into the Wee hours as Santa makes the rounds

An inch of snow on Xmas is like a blizzard to me.

We haven't had a Christmas Eve snowfall of more than an inch since 1978 up here. Its been a pretty remarkable period. We did have the Christmas 2002 snowstorm but that didn't start until mid-morning or lunchtime depending on where you were and not everyone saw snow...your neck of the woods had just about all rain.

Your area did have the Christmas Eve snowfall of 1998...I recall parts of the Cape getting 8-10" in that. We got whiffed here...missed a white Christmas by 10-15 miles as just southeast an inch or two...and then it got more and more as you went SE.

We had almost an inch of snow late Christmas Eve night and pre-dawn Christmas day in 1993. The closest to Christmas eve we have gotten smoked in the past couple decades was December 23, 1997....18.0" of snow when 1-3" was predicted the night before. Still one of the more bizarre storms to ever affect us. You still wouldn't believe it looking at reanalysis...it doesn't look impressive at all.

Light QPF aside, the idea is still certainly on the table. You'd ideally like to see that vortmax get squashed underneath us to give the best dynamical forcing to an already moisture starved system...but beggars can't be choosers...even an inch or two would be pretty nice.

As Will said verbatim euro is an inch or 2 of snow Xmas Eve. It's a WAA light snow event where coast would go to rain

I never said that is what the Euro had verbatim...I said it had light qpf, but that an inch or two even would go a long way. I actually haven't looked closely at it as I'm working on other stuff right now at the same time.

Also, some are talking about the storm after Christmas in this thread....

Go here if you want to discuss that:

This is rash and uncalled for. A few red taggers have a curious pattern of attacking me personally when and if I articulate a counterpoint. If you actually read what I say, I present solid arguments, always including the reasoning to support. I never troll anybody. That's childish. I like to discuss and debate the weather. Other people turn a factual or perceived disagreement into a personal attack. That's uncalled for. I definitely add a fresh perspective. I believe that's healty for the subforum. If you can't take a little debate, you shouldn't be posting on a message board.
